New features ✨
Xero integration for supplier payments

- Add "Configure" button to Organisation → Integrations tab to configure sync of incoming payments and supplier payments. When an organisation connects to Xero for the first time, both syncs will be off by default
- Add "Send to Xero" option to supplier payments that creates a Bill Payment in Xero. Once created, updates to the Bill Payment in Xero will automatically update the supplier payment in Tourwriter

Version: 1.65.0
Updates to bookings (grouping & traveller info)
- Individual Bookings:Bookings are now ungrouped, meaning each line item has its own separate booking. While bookings are still visually grouped by supplier, each one can have its own status, booking reference, notes, etc. This change also removes certain restrictions in the builder.
- Streamlined Supplier Responses:Booking emails for multiple bookings now include a single "Respond to request" button, allowing suppliers to respond to all bookings on one page. Suppliers can select different responses, booking references, and notes for each booking from the same page.
- Updated Booking Vouchers:Booking vouchers now group bookings by supplier.
- Ungrouped Supplier Payments:Supplier payments are now ungrouped, with each payment corresponding to a single item. Existing supplier payments for multiple items have been split into one primary payment and additional payments with an amount of 0.00, accompanied by a warning message.
- Traveller Details in Booking Emails:You can now include traveller details in booking emails. A "Traveller Details" option is available in booking email settings, allowing you to configure which of the 51 traveller fields are included for each product type. If a booking email contains multiple product types, traveller details for all types will be included.
- First Day Rate Pricing:You can now calculate prices based on the first day's rate for all days in a booking. This option is available on the "Options" page for each product.

Accounting settings and tax rates
We’ve added a whole new area to your organisation settings - say hello to the new ‘accounting’ tab. Here you can set up your sales tax rates, create your chart of accounts and map product types to their respective account code.
Let's dive in:
- The first tax rate you create will be the default tax rate applied to products and new itineraries
- You can change to an alternative tax rate via the ‘edit’ function in the Pricing tab of your itinerary
- Existing itineraries will remain without tax but you can add it manually on a per item basis
